Walking into MorterSporr after the long weekend I feel rustling underneath my sweater, carefully hermes peeks out at me causing my heart to melt.

"Hey my curious batcat.. you sure do enjoy hanging around with me and amity don't you.."

Nuzzling their head with my chin they purr a grateful trill of squeaks, amity goes to pet their tiny cheek with her thumb when they bite her, her already pale skin going slightly whiter.

"Finally imprinting now are we baby Dracula?"

Flexing her thumb to get blood flowing through it Hermes' ears flop down like a tired bunnies, I silently giggle at how animated their face gets when they sleep. Walking into the common room to see amber talking loudly about the trouble Jennifer is in, running up to me raven tries to hug me tightly but I hold them back with my hand

"I am carrying very precious cargo raven so no hugs, you'll squish them"

They raise an eyebrow at me and hermes' little power nap is ended with a loud enough yawn to alert raven, looking down at the grumpy little bat raven kneels down and starts speaking in bird tongue. A long conversation goes between the two until raven smiles, standing up they pat my arm

"Consider yourselves parents luz- amity- little hermes here claims you are so there's no escaping that"

Sliding down below my sweaters collar I kiss their little nose causing  them to rub it irritated, I murmur a couple sorry's then go to sit on the open couch. Naomi immediately starts sniffing like vee does and when she goes to boop hermes' nose with hers curiously she recives a tired annoyed nip

"No biting Hermes I know you're tired but be patient.. sorry nao- you've got a sibling considerably and because raven woke them up they're a grumpus"

Naomi nods gently, I feel hermes' head press to my chin. Nuzzling their head with my chin I look over at amity, smiling gently I hug her waist and sigh when hermes falls asleep again. Heading to my dorm room I set hermes on the pillow and put my sweater over them, slipping on my much more preferred vest. They look at me tiredly

"I'll be back in a few hours hermes.. get some rest. You didn't get much with ghost rolling you around last night"

Their eyes close again with a huff like sigh, I pull out my apple from my side bag and set it on the desk not knowing if they like anything else than blood. I head to homeroom feeling sad I had to leave them, the day starting off with mathematics- yuck.

Over the next few months I'd come to understand Hermes as well as if it were English being spoken, and because of bat maturity hermes has hit the terrible twos. Walking around in tiny stomps their hands gripping in tight fists, They look at me angered for telling them they had to take a nap.

'NO, NOT TIRED!'

They squeak at me, suddenly their squeaks yell out in a long line on one singular high pitch allerting the gang (from raber, mayve, bri, jess, and naomi) that they're angry. Composing myself I say in a firm tone

"Hermes rose noceda-"

They go silent with a sudden peep looking up at me wide eyed, picking them up I say quietly

"You have to sleep.. you're grumpy because you are tired.. mini messenger can wait at least thirty minutes"

They whine softly their trills saying

'But I don't wanna..'

Slipping them carefully into my sweater I can tell they just want to be around me more often, as the little gesture immediately causes them to sleep. Bri looks over at jess and waves her hand confused at me, jess chuckles lovingly at her girlfriend, being now the fifth witch in our group she explains calmly.
